Cedar House Sound
CedarHouse Sound & Mastering is that rare New England recording studio that offers the best in analogue (2” 24-track), digital (Pro Tools 2018 Ultimate HDX), and mastering (Pyramix 11, Sonic Solutions SoundBlade HD 2.3 and SADiE Artemis). Owned and operated by veteran producer, Gerry Putnam, and his wife, Frances Steven-Putnam, CedarHouse is uniquely equipped from both an experience and facility standpoint. CedarHouse has been operating for over 37 years and has evolved to its current, virtually limitless capability.
CedarHouse Sound and Gerry Putnam have been constant companions for all my recording explorations - from techno-pop to classical.
Recording at CedarHouse have provided some of the best experiences of my musical life, and I look forward the next project that will bring me back there. Although it's truly inspiring to be in a studio with state-of-the-art recording equipment, it's the professionalism and warmth that comes from Gerry and the environment he has created that captures an artist's best performance.

Cecilia Zabala
Guitarist, singer, composer Cecilia Zabala was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1975. Throughout her career, she has expressed her musical creativity using her guitar and her voice, creating original compositions that blend sensitivity, emotion, technique and intuition. Her music draws on a rich mixture of influences, from Argentinian folklore, the contemporary language of the twentieth century, jazz, tango, and Brazilian music.
Every couple of years Cecilia embarks on a short tour of small venues in New England and a few select locations throughout the United States. Be sure to subscribe to her mailing list to find the details of her next visit.
In the photos Cecilia is teaching me two of her compositions - "Fugacidad" and "Pendiente."
Warm The Children
Warm The Children is a family of 27 non-profit organizations whose missions are the same: providing new winter clothing and footwear for their community’s neediest children.
The recipe for Warm The Children is simple: A local newspaper and/or a service organization asks its community for monetary donations to be used to purchase new winter clothing and footwear for local children in need. Families to be served are identified by local social service agencies or public-school personnel.
All the donations received go to the children, and the sponsoring organizations absorb all the administrative expenses.
Vermont's Northeast Kingdom is remarkably beautiful during the winter months, but it's also very cold. For many years "Warm the Children" has made a positive impact in our small community.
